Manchester City have allowed three players to leave on loan, with Bruno Zuculini moving to Cordoba until the end of the season.

The 21-year-old midfielder arrived at City from Racing Club in August 2014 and shined on the club's pre-season tour of Scotland and the United States, scoring his first goal against Kansas City.

Argentine Zuculini has also had a loan spell with Valencia alongside City striker Alvaro Negredo, and will now try to impress at the Spanish side who are 16th in La Liga, two places above the drop zone.

Two other players leaving Manuel Pellegrini's squad are George Evans and Chidiebere Nwakali.

Scunthorpe United have strengthened their midfield by taking on Evans until May 31. He has been a regular in City's Elite Development Squad.

Evans has also played at centre-back and was in Abu Dhabi for the winter weather training camp with the first team earlier this month.

The 20-year-old spent most of last season on loan to Crewe Alexandra, where he made 25 appearances, and will now hope to shine on the League One stage with Scunthorpe.

Nigeria youth international Nwakali has agreed a loan switch to Malaga until June 2017.
